Question 167592: I have a word problem that I need help with. I must show my work.
1. In a certain area, the sale price of new single-family homes has increased 4.1% per year since 1992. If a house was purchased in this area in 1992 for $75,000 and the growth continues, what will be sale price in 2006? Use y=a(1+r)^t and round to the nearest cent.
Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=a(1+r)^t
75,000(1+.041)^14
75,000(1.041)^14
75,000*1.755=$131,635.03 sale price in 2006.
